Paint is in fantastic shape, all original, except the bumpers and side skirts. my friend replaced the side skirts for me and re painted the bumpers and skirts. the bumpers had minor scuffs. i have one dent on the left rear quarter but we are fixing that in spring and then repainting the whole car in a pearl black. my other friend may airbrush the hood for me, but we will see.

WHAT did the problem with it end up being caused by?
I like Colts.  Turbo Colts.

Well i rebuilt my ECU, replaced knock sensor, power transitor and complete coil pack assembly. i grabbed the whole set up, so it could have been the module on the back of the coil pack or the copils themselves. guess i will never know, lol. runs awesome now though.

stay away from CO2, its expensive and if your car ingests the CO2, it will loose power.  To chill intercoolers use Nitrous(expensive), or methanol/water injection.  Cheap and reliable and proven to work.

And what the hell is a T20 turbo?
